I don't have any, but I've been looking into the hella 500 black magic lights as well as the 500ff lights. A friend of mine recommended the black magics as he loved them. I'm also having a hard time finding lights that can be mounted upside down (mount up top).

Not 100 percent, but I think ARB lites can be mounted upside down. I read where it can be turned so the drain hole which is on the bottom and be adjusted so it is at the top for an upside down mounting. Also not too expensive and with remote on-off switch.

KC HiLiTES 124 SlimLite Black 100w Driving Light System. Very happy with them. I have been using them since 2013.

thanks, I will look into those. Just curious as to why you're looking for a halogen setup? I have Qtec LED headlights and fogs and they are blinding in the thick snow we get here in NY.

Don't know, maybe a little old fashioned. I had KC Slimlites in the past and they were good for my needs. Just not used to the newer types of lites and their prices. Besides.... Wranglers look better with ROUND LITES.

Default Delta Lighting Halogen

Have Delta Lighting direct fit replacement Driving lights in bumper.. 55W halogens... far Superior ! Complete Kit, and you can find instructions on how to wire up using the factory switching in this Forum. These reachout better than LED bulbs in factory housings.

My own experience with the lites mounted in the bumper is they are too low. The splash up from slush and stuff blocks up the lites. I am going to go with a set of slim lites, mounted on the top of the bumper whereas with the additional mounting height, they stay cleaner. Just from my past experience.
